Google is mainly a user of Java, Kotlin, Python and C++.

Go might be have been created by three Google employees, two of which UNIX idols, but the language isn't that widely deployment outside anything to do with Kubernetes.

See how much Go related content shows at Google IO. If I am not mistaken, it got a single talk this year.

Go is actually widely adopted in web backends and desktop apps. You might just miss some scenarios. And from my naive perspective, Go is a strong type alternative than TypeScript though it has a unique idiom syntax, but for most web devs this could be a reason to adopt Go, e.g. Wails instead of Electron in desktop.

Outside Google, yes I guess.

Well I for one, think that using node, Python, Ruby on the backend is an anti pattern anyway.

And I certainly don't want to use a language that makes me feel like coding in Java 5, that was 20 years ago.

It's widely used in Cloud. Within Cloud you there is a policy to use it for all new products.

It certainly isn't reflected on Google IO cloud product talks, though, unless it is something directly related to Kubernetes.
